How long can a chicken be alone??

[JacksonChickies]

So backstory....I brought home 3 chicks (DOB 4/21/21) and we have now lost 2 of them. I was already planning on bringing new chicks home tomorrow but obviously can't integrate right away. Will Chickie Nuggie be ok alone for a few weeks while we wait for the new chicks to get bigger??

We are moving her to the coop tomorrow to prep for the newbies and have a mirror and stuffed buddy for her, but is that enough??

Can you put the newbies in with Chickie Nuggie? She/he would probably be fine with baby chicks. I would watch for awhile though.

Sounds like a sound plan, you're doing good.

She'll be fine until the others are older and ready to join her.

The newbies are BRAND new, just a few days old. I'm worried they're too little.

Ok, if you are worried about that, I understand! What @rosemarythyme and @nuthatched is correct, good luck with your new chicks!
